Fashion Photographer
Nigel Barker Stands Up For The Seals
Monday, March 3rd, 2008
I was under the impression that Nigel was
this eternal bachelor and the hot photographer that all the
models fight over...alas, I've just been informed that he's been married
for about seven years and has a son. I've also been told news
travels slow in Ohio. Nigel, world-famed and noted fashion
photographer (can't you just hear Tyra Banks saying
that?), is taking up a cause dear to our hearts: traveling to the Gulf of St.
Lawrence to put the spotlight on the baby seals being hunted.
The
AP reports that Nigel is being accompanied by
Wayne Pacelle of the Humane Society - hoorah! - and will
photograph the killings of seals himself when the hunt gets underway in
late March or early April.
Nigel said that before-and-after shots
of the hunted seals will become a photo collection offered to magazines to
show the brutality of the hunts. You can read Nigel's blog about why
he decided to stand up for the seals and how you can help here.
That is brave. There is no
way I could watch the seal hunt in person and not charge at the people
with hakapiks...which wouldn't end well, for me, anyway.
